There are many good reasons for choosing Matrix LIMS....

1.   Guaranteed Upgrade path and Backward Compatibility

Matrix LIMS upgrades are backwardly compatible and have been since the very first version introduced 18 years ago despite the massive changes in the product. The Autoscribe policy of no core code customisation, but a high degree of configurability, is key to the continual upgrade path.

User Benefits

• Matrix Gemini LIMS is proven to grow with both small and large businesses.
• New features and new technology are accessible without the need to change systems.

2.   Configuration Tools

Autoscribe pioneered the use of configuration tools in 1996 – and they have been regularly upgraded during the past 14 years. They are still unique and the best.

Today, without the use of programming or esoterica scripting they create a unified interface for both desktop and web use.

The configuration tools provide massive flexibility and Matrix may be tailored for a wide variety of industries and applications including the creation of business systems such as customer complaints management and document management.

Neither programming nor a knowledge of an esoteric scripting language is required. The tools are therefore usable by a customer and customer developed configurations are fully supported by Autoscribe (compare this to a system that is “configured” by writing code).

User Benefits

• Matrix Gemini^TM LIMS is easily configured to meet user requirements without custom code.
• Matrix Gemini^TM LIMS is easy to update to meet new business needs.
• Matrix Gemin^TM LIMS Configuration has no negative impact on system support or upgradeability.

3.   System Scalability

• Matrix Gemini systems are scalable from single user sample tracking systems to full function global / enterprise LIMS involving many hundreds of users … or anywhere in between.
• Matrix Gemini systems are suitable for small companies, individual departments within a company, large companies and/or enterprise organisations.

User Benefits

• The same software can be used in large central laboratories as well as small one-man laboratories in remote locations thus providing standardisation throughout the organisation.
• The above leads to better understanding between laboratories and a consolidated approach to user and system manager training.
• Support and upgrade costs are kept to a realistic level.

The above benefits illustrate the real way to standardise with a LIMS – be careful of other claims!

4.   System Stability and Reliability
